Professor Trelawney sighed, and put her head down on her desk and sighed, waiting for the first of her students to appear. She wished she didn't have to appear like a fraud, it lost her many students a year. Put it was all part of the act. For if she let it be known, that she did actually seer, and most times correctly, she wouldn't be able to live a normal life, not without he-who-must-not-be-named going to any means to get her on his side. Professor Trelawney had just recently Seered (??Correct word?? Seen maybe? I have no idea) that Harry was a Seer, but it had taken her a while to persuade Dumbledore to let her train him. She would tell him after this lesson that he was to receive special training. When she sensed that their were students at the bottom of the rope, she let it down with a sigh, lifted her head up off of the table and started to smile at the students now coming in. When all of the sixth years were inside, she discreetly closed the trapdoor, and started to address the class.
'Today we will be learning to mind read. Do not confuse mind-reading with Legilimency though. Can anyone tell me the difference between the two?' She, and also Ron were both surprised when Harry raised his hand. 'Yes Mr. Potter?'
'With Legilimency, you use a spell. With Mind Reading, you need a natural ability, as there is no spell, and the person you are Mind Reading, can't tell that you are reading their mind, where as with Legilimency they can tell, and can throw you out of their mind.'
'Well done Mr. Potter. Ten points to Gryffindor.' Harry sat back down, and noticed Ron looking at him with disbelief.
'How did you know that?'
'While I was in Flourish and Blott's I was flipping through a book about it. I guess it stuck in my mind.' Harry turned to the front as Professor Trelawney started to give them instructions.
'Everyone will be working in pairs, but today I will pair you, so you can't just guess what your partner is thinking.' She ran down the list she had made, deliberately leaving Harry until the end. 'Now take it in turns to focus in on your partners thoughts.' When she said this, he made his way up to her desk.'
'Yes Mr. Potter, you will be working with me.'
'Why though?'
'Because -' Professor Trelawney paused, switching unbeknownst to Harry into her 'mind' voice, 'because you are a seer.' Harry started slightly when he heard her normally misty voice clear as crystal in his head.
'I'm a wh-' he started out loud before attempting to talk to her in her previous fashion at look she gave him, 'I'm a what?' Professor Trelawney's eyes lit up when Harry actually communicated telepathically. She had never heard of anyone succesfully speaking that way on their first try.
Well anyway, I know that this chapter doesn't come close to what it should, I asked for you to help me reach 15 reviues was it??? I NOW HAVE 32!!! I think. Anyway, for this chapter it would be good if I could reach 50??? and if not that then 40??? Even if you just comment on an idea I've had, or how crap I write, anything would be good. FLAMES ARE ACCEPTABLE!!!! Although it would be nicer to not get them :)p
